​

While service work is the goal for each of our puppies, occasionally a partner requests the donation of a specific number of puppies by a certain date, but are unable to find volunteer puppy raisers when the pups are ready to be donated. When this happens, it presents the perfect opportunity for someone looking for a Labrador Retriever puppy from an outstanding bloodline, which has also gone through the same nurturing and training process the all Project 2 Heal puppies go through.

​

Additionally, from time to time we have older pups that remain in training here at Project 2 Heal as potential Started Service Dogs, which we decide may be better off as a great family pet, skilled companion or emotional support dog, which we may offer for sale. Many times these puppies are "re-careered" due to their size—they may not be big enough to work with a veteran who needs to be able to brace upon a service dog to stand and sit. The puppy may also prove to be too laid back (e.g., lack the level of working drive needed to work as a service dog.) We know that these puppies will make outstanding pets, skilled companions or emotional support dogs.

​

When a pup is purchased from Project 2 Heal, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the work we do to serve our veterans, children with special needs, and adults with disabilities.  If you are interested in learning more about any outstanding puppies we may have available, please call our office at 704-256-4056 or call our Founder, Charlie Petrizzo  directly at 704-562-4855.
